HeartBREAKING, you say?
1993 Campbell Conference Finals... Los Angeles Kings versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. In Game 7, Wayne Gretzky clips Doug Gilmour in the face with his stick, but there was no penalty called. Moments later, he scored the winning goal to send the Kings to the Stanley Cup against the Montreal Canadiens.
The 9 year old Leafs fan in me never forgave Gretzky for that.

This has to be right up there for me. As for this decade, I have to go with 95th Grey Cup in 2007. My Bombers going in against the Saskatchewan Roughriders (which to those who don't know is an insane rivalry. Think Canada's Colts vs Patriots) and our QB Ryan Dinwiddie (our backup, our starter had gotten injured late in the semifinals) throws an interception on what could have been our game winning drive to cost us the game. My friend immediately put me on suicide watch, and judging by her tone and how she acted the rest of the night, she was legit worried I was gonna do something stupid I'm still pissed about that game

Hawthorn lose a close one to the Essendon Bombers in the Prelim Final (A match for a spot in the Grand Final) in 2001. Trent Croad had a chance to kick a goal to put the Hawks in front but the ball hit the post.

For me personally, one of 'em happened last week when Arkansas went from being down four to LSU to taking the lead with a 1:12 left to play; letting the Tigers come back down and with a kick tying it up to go to OT.
LSU kicks a field goal in Overtime; Arkansas gets the ball back, and the kicker misses wide right.
Just the roller coaster of emotions.
Earlier this season, Arkansas is about to knock off Florida, when a couple of HORRENDOUS officiating calls allows Florida to continue a drive to take a three point lead. End of the game, the kicker also shanks it wide right.
Been a tough year for down to the wire kicks for the Hogs.
Earlier in the decade I guess it'd be Romo botching the snap for what would be the game winning kick against Seattle in the NFC playoffs a few years back.
Field goals have not been kind to me the past ten years.
Goin back to '98 one of the biggest heartbreakers was 8-0 Arkansas vs. 8-0 Tennessee at Knoxville; Hogs take an 18 pt. lead early, and the Volunteers come roaring back. Arkansas regains the lead, and is able to make a defensive stand late in the game which should ice it if they can only get a couple first downs. The quarterback Clint Stoerner gets the snap, stumbles, and instead of just taking the loss, puts his hand down to brace himself and fumbles. The Vols recover take it down the field and score, winning the game and eventually going on to the national championship.

the 2003 cubs....i was at game 6 when the bartman incident happened, and once that happened...a fielding error later..and prior feeding the marlins middle of the plate stuff it was over...i had confidence in game 7 with Wood going for us...i mean him and alou hit home runs and gave us a 3 run lead...with Wood i thought that would be all we needed....*sigh* if we had gone all the way i wouldnt have been as upset in 2004 with what happened to prior and wood becuase at least we would have witnessed the most dominate 1 - 2 starters having a mosnter season...

The 2001 AFC Championship game (the tuck-rule game). I hate the Raiders, but I just felt really bad that they essentially lost that game (mentally, at least) thanks to that weird-ass play.

Not this decade, but watching Lenny Webster miss catching a strike and allowing the Indians to score a game winning (and it may have been series-winning, can't remember) run in the 1997 ALCS. Since I wasn't really following baseball in 1983, the last O's World Series win, the 97 team was the best team I'd ever seen the O's have.
Wire to wire division winners, 8 guys with 20+ home runs, coming off the disappointing and controversial loss to the hated Yankees the year before, and couldn't make it to the promised land.

1998 Nagano Olympics. Canada loses in the shoot-out to the Czech Republic. I cried like a little bitch, even if I was 15.

The refs screwing the Mavs out of the NBA finals in 2006. And for that matter, refs screwing the Cardinals in the last Super Bowl and the refs screwing the Seahawks against the Steelers in their Super Bowl.

The Los Angeles Clippers select Michael Olowokandi. The Los Angeles Clippers select Yaroslav Korolev. 2004 ALCS. The 2001 AFC Championship game (the tuck-rule game). I hate the Raiders, but I just felt really bad that they essentially lost that game (mentally, at least) thanks to that weird-ass play. It actually happened in the Divisional Round. That's one thing everyone forgets, the Raiders if they would have won, would have had to play at Pittsburgh to get to the Super Bowl.
